diltiazem (cardizem)

Diltazem (cardizem)
biggest effect on which he- hypotension modynamic
diltazem is used for paa-fib or a-flutter tients
with
antiarrythmic amiodarone
(Cordarone) prolongs the cardiac durais a
tion
You MUST use a
__________ when using 0.22 micron filter
amiodarone infusion
Watch out for hypotension, prolongation
____________ in patients of QT interval and
bradyon a amiodarone infusion cardia amiodarone is
used for paa-fib, a-flutter and VT tients with
, how much amiodarone is 150mg over 10min for VT
given to a stable VT with with pulse
a pulse and a unstable 300mg push; repeat x1 at
pulseless VT/VF? 150mg
Epinephrine has what ef- increases HR, BP, and
fect on the body? contractility what is the first
line drug
Epinephrine
for pulseless arrest?
What rhythms are consid- V-fib, Vtach (pulseless),
ered fatal? and asystole
Epinephrine is also given anaphylaxis and as a vaso-
for? pressor for hypotension
Heparin is used for? Anti- anticoagulant
dote is? Protamine Sulfate
What is the osmotic diuret-
ic of choice to decrease in- mannitol tracranial
pressure?
